Message: <blockquote data-quote="HDL_ME" data-source="post: 215533" data-attributes="member: 36959">I'd just like to correct a mistake I made in my first post ...by recording my weight loss as '1 stone 12 pounds' ...'Math's has never been my forte...that and 'Dieting'...two things I've never done well in the Past! Maybe I need to improve 'Subtracting' skills now....Anyway, my weight loss is almost 1 stone 12 pounds now..I'm at 10 stone 8, this morning. Although I'm working to achieve that 15% target off my starting weight...which (hopefully!) is 10 stone 7lbs... I think that it will probably take an extended period of eating properly and being stable with lower readings, before I shift the Diabetes totally. There's no doubt whatsoever that I've got some natural capacity back in the pancreatic department...and that is generally evidenced by my HBA1C of 5.5 (which I think is better than the averaged Test Group figure at Newcastle...that is recorded as HBA1c 6.0 at Week 8, I think...so it goes to show that you don't need to diet with just liquid supplements & vedg. if you don't want to. A calorie is a calorie...eat just 600 of them a day for 8 weeks & you're on the same sort of track. Obviously, there's a need to take a full vitamin and mineral supplement each day, to match that provided by the carefully-balanced liquid meal... but that's not too difficult to achieve with the excellent supplement pills available over the counter. And obviously, it takes a lot more hassle working-out what you eat every day and recording it very accurately).Good luck to any of you that fancy giving it a Go...I doubt you'll regret it. Irrespective of the diabetic element in my losing the weight... after a truly horrible & frightening bout of Swine flu at the start of the year, I needed to lose some weight and get my physique in better shape, anyway. It's now my goal to get my blood pressure back to where it needs to be...it's almost a good way there all ready thanks to the weight loss and increased fitness levels c/o the walking 'round the block' or down to the shops...I do most days, to make sure my body is using up the calories...& I'm sleeping much better as a result, though hopefully...not whilst having secret Dreams of Cream Cakes and Microchips!(That reminds me..I've not had a box of 'Microchips' now for 9 weeks! Cor!)</blockquote>
